During the last five years, Utah has produced an average of sixty-two bushels of grain per cornacre, and 15.25 tons of silage per acre all under irrigation. California, on the other hand, produced an average of 92 bushels of grain per corn acre and 19 tons of silage per acre. Indiana, a non-irrigated state, had a 92 bushel average last year, and ranked first in the nation. HIGH YIELDS ARE POSSIBLE Eight California farmers top ped 200 bushels of corn per acre, during 1966. A Colorado grower harvested 217 bushels per acre last year. Clyde Hight of Mow-eagua, Mow-eagua, Illinois, hit the jackpot. He produced over 200 bushels of corn on 388 acres recently. One 100 -acre field averaged 211 bushels per acre, and Hight was at the mercy of the weatherman since his land isn't irrigated. Several other states have had farmers produce over 200 bushels bush-els per acre. HIGH GOALS FOR YOURSELF The first step toward a king-sized king-sized yield is to set high yield goals on your farm. Write down what you should be producing field by field. Then develop a plan to reach the goal you' have set. Goals of 150 bushels of grain corn and 30 tons of silage are not unreasonable for Utah farmers to shoot at. Remember, if you produce pro-duce silage, your yield and quality follow along with grain corn yields. USU Seeks Persons To Train For Teaching Position LOG ATI-Utah State University is looking for 15 recently discharged dis-charged or retired military personnel per-sonnel to be prepared as prospective pros-pective social studies teachers. With support of a grant of $115,-000 $115,-000 from the U.S. Office of Education, Edu-cation, the university will offer a Prospective Teacher Fellowship Fellow-ship Program during the 1968-69 1968-69 school year and the summer of 1969.

BEFORE MAY 15 DEADLINE Summer r ft ft Orem Boy Takes In between rice-patty escapades esca-pades in search of wounded servicemen, ser-vicemen, SP 5 Alan H. Robinson completed more than one semester semes-ter of Brigham Young University credit. Specialist Robinson, from Orem, and just back from a 13-month 13-month tour of duty near the Korean Demilitarized Zone, served ser-ved as a medic with the 1st battalion bat-talion of the 23rd Infantry. During the months he was there,' he learned firsthand of communist aggression more than 500 North Korean commando raids took place. The medic was stationed south of the Imjin River ( near theDMZ area) when a communist commando com-mando party, dressed in battle gear with pistols, rifles and grenades, gren-ades, slipped over the DMZ and edged their ( way past United Nation outpost toward Seoul. Their purpose: to assassinate Officials intend the program for former military personnel, but others may be considered. Participants will pursue a graduate grad-uate program leading to a master mas-ter of education degree in secondary second-ary education. They will receive stipends of $2,000 plus $400 per dependent for the academic year and an additional $400 plus $100 per dependent for the summer. They will not be required to pay tuition. Application forms, which must be submitted by April 14, 1968, may be obtained from Dr. John D. Haas, director of the program, at Utah state University.

'They were eventually spotted by a Korean policeman in Seoul." Their plans foiled, the North Koreans retreated toward the , DMZ only to be snared in a United Nation's net. Whenever such raids took place, Specialist Robinson had the responsibility re-sponsibility of helping the injured. 'We usually applied tourniquets to keep the men alive until we could get them back to the first aid station," he said. Last August had been the worst month for the medics. North Koreans had killed 10 servicemen and injured more than 50 others. In between such assignments, Specialist Robinson attended Brigham Young University through the school's correspondence correspond-ence program. An accounting major, he has completed nearly six courses while in Korea and with a near 'A" average. 'I've actually done better with correspondence study than on campus," he said. 'I really like it because you can do your work at your own speed. If something comes upand it often did I didn't have to worry about getting my assignments in on time."

It's one job Orem-Geneva Times Nitrogen Is Key To Yields, and Bigger 'The imDortance of nitrogen in a well-balanced soil fertility program pro-gram cannot be overstressed," says County Agent Clair Acord. This element is the key to better bet-ter yields and bigger profits.' The County agent points out that the efficient use of nitrogen is a major factor in successful and profitable farming. Farmers who use nitrogen wisely as an essential essen-tial production tool can expect both yields and production efficiency effic-iency to continue to climb as they increase nitrogen fertilization rates within practical and recommended reco-mmended limits. Discussing the use of nitrogen in a well-rounded fertility program, pro-gram, he explained that it must be kept in balance with other plant foods, especially phosphate and potash. Also, the nitrogen must be supplied to growing crops when they need it during the growing season. Nitrogen has many functions in the plant, he continued. It produces produ-ces rapid growth, gives dark green color, increases yield of seed and fruit, and improves the quality of leaf and forage crops. In addition, nitrogen increases the protein content of food and feed crops and speeds up the breakdown of straw and other crop residues in the soil.
